In 2011, NIOSH launched the Total Worker Health (TWH) strategy based on integrating prevention and health promotion in the workplace. For several years now, in Italy, this integration has led to the creation of workplace health promotion embedded in medical surveillance (WHPEMS). WHPEMS projects, which are also implemented in small companies, focus each year on a new topic that emerges from the needs of workers. During their regular medical check-up in the workplace, workers are invited to fill in a questionnaire regarding the project topic, its outcome, and some related factors. Workers receive advice on how to improve their lifestyles and are referred to the National Health Service for any necessary tests or treatments. Results collected over the past 12 years from more than 20,000 participants demonstrate that WHPEMS projects are economical, sustainable, and effective. The creation of a network of occupational physicians who are involved in WHPEMS projects could help to improve the work culture, health, and safety of workers.
2011 年，NIOSH 基于将预防和健康促进融入工作场所的理念，推出了全面健康工人（TWH）战略。几年来，意大利将预防和健康促进融入工作场所，创建了嵌入医疗监测的工作场所健康促进（WHPEMS）。WHPEMS 项目也在小型企业中实施，每年都关注从工人需求中产生的新主题。在工作场所的定期体检中，工人被邀请填写一份关于项目主题、结果和一些相关因素的问卷。工人收到有关如何改善生活方式的建议，并被转介到国家卫生服务机构进行任何必要的检查或治疗。过去 12 年，来自 20,000 多名参与者的结果表明，WHPEMS 项目具有经济性、可持续性和有效性。建立一个参与 WHPEMS 项目的职业医生网络，有助于改善工人的工作文化、健康和安全。
